Lost Tigers
“Lost Tigers is a pioneering play of incredible importance. It memorialised a forgotten but vital part of British, Welsh and Cardiffian history, centred the experiences of communities long dismissed, and asked challenging questions about who and how we remember. It worked with and alongside, as well as emerging from, the communities at the centre of the story, with partnership written into its performance.”

The debut play by Cardiff-born writer Sadia Kidwai, Lost Tigers follows three strangers from different backgrounds seeking refuge in the Peel Street Mosque—the first of its kind in Wales—during the Cardiff Blitz of January 1941. Directed by Dan Jones, the production explores community, survival, and human connection in the heart of Tiger Bay during wartime chaos.
